[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1836892, member: 93179"] It's been diet all the way for me - I had just over three years on metfromin before GP decided that i didn't need it any more - but it made not the slightest difference when I stopped. Biggest help was deciding to ditch long term statins which brought my BG down another point which I'd not been able previously to do with LCHF. but my largest reduction in BG came when I was first diagnosed, didn't have a meter, and just cut right down on sugar then all carbs. Later very low carb/keto using Atkins induction phase as a guide lost me a huge amount of weight in a fairly short time. Everything since then has been a bit of an LCHF balancing act, and I like to believe that the occasional bit of fasting also helps give my liver and pancreas an extra little break if nothing else. I don't always sleep well now and I think when my glucose levels are lower it also keeps me too alert (or at least awake) and I end up with max 2-3 hours sleep at a time, but idf I'm lucky I'll have a couple of these short sleeps. :banghead: But my worst enemy is health/pain which will sneak up and disrupt everything just when I think I'm on a winning steak...
